Takko Tuesday! - I Love Rock & Roll

Sorry, I did not have any takkitos to share with you last week. Not only was I completely out of new takkos to share but I was also on a little jaunt to NYC to see some music. And I got to see our lovely Takko Lacquer mistress, Sheryl! She's the sweetest :) On my little trip to New York, I was witness to some epic rock and roll. If you guys dig old school bluesy rock with amazing vocals, do yourself a favor and check out 'Greta van Fleet'. They were phenomenal! I came home to a much anticipated packed of a huge destash score. I grabbed up some old Takkos that I have needed to completely my collection and I wanted to share one with you today. Because I love rock and roll!

I <3 Rock & Roll from Takko Lacquer is a super old school shade. This polish first released in 2012 at the very start of Takko Lacquerproducing lovely shimmers. I even scored this in the original round bottle. I am not sure if/when it was released after that. She is a black jelly based polish packed with purple to pink shifty microflakie shimmer. It looks dark and vampy yet still has a flash of something sparkly.

The formula was still good even in this 5 year old bottle. I did end up doing three coats but I was pretty happy with two thick coats. In dim lighting, this will look mostly black on the nails with flashes of purple at an angle. But in brighter lighting, the purple/pink shimmer really stands out. This shade is very rock and roll!

What do you think of this OG Takko shade? I really like it. If you like vampy shades, then you will certainly love this one. I am not sure how easy this one will be to find out there. But keep your eyes peeled on destash listing to score a bottle of your own. Maybe Sheryl will bring it back one day? We can only hope :)
